Unless all jobs are unnecessary, you just change your job.
People seem to assume that if robots can code, all coders are out of a job, but I mean, if I didn't have to code, I'd just start all the businesses I've always wanted to start because like all the business people who are going to be replacing me with a bot, I too will have the time to replace business people with my bots.
Of course by this stage, if coders are replaced, pretty much all jobs will be replaced, millions, maybe billions of people will be jobless and without any ability to earn a wage, in other words, you won't be the only one with real problems when coders lose their jobs, it's just a matter of time till most jobs follow.
Not sure what we're hoping to get out of the AI future, but it seems like we're very intent on finding out at this point.
Maybe we're all just working towards making Ray Kurzeweil immortal at this stage?
My gut tells me though, we'll just be augmenting ourselves for a long time, and things will become faster paced.
Seems like an unpopular take, but I agree with this sentiment
The most I can imagine coming out of this is that those "app creator" apps/websites will actually work. So you can get a reasonably functional app without necessarily being a software engineer. A current-day software engineer could end up with the capabilities of a pre-2023 VP of Engineering in charge of a 200 person department.
That doesn't mean there'll be no work, it just means the work will be different and possibly much more interesting
